Folk Rock
 

"The Pauper" was a rock opera being performed by Richard Del Connor, Dann Link, and several drummers during 1977. Ironically, the band just performed under the name, "The Pauper."

When The Pauper won the San Diego KPRI Battle of the Bands in 1978, they realized they needed a band name and became, THE RICH. The Rich performed "The Pauper" rock opera.

Sounding like Jethro Tull, Mountain, Montrose, and Led Zepellin, Richard Del Connor fronted the band on acoustic guitar, vocals and flute. Having been a bass player for a decade, he also whipped out his Rickenbacker bass to play two double-bass-player songs, "Whore," and "Starliner," with Thor Spangler.

There are a few songs from the rock opera available for purchase. I look forward to finishing this album I started in 1976.

A rock opera.

An amazing live performance show in 1984 and 1985.

Almost become a movie for New World Pictures.

Acclaimed by Michael J. Fox. (He wanted the lead role in the movie too!)

Steven Spielberg read the script and said, "This is really great! Send it to Kathleen Kennedy."

Soundtrack recorded at Cherokee Studios,
with overdubs in several other Los Angeles studios during 1989.

This Coyote in a Graveyard rock opera was written up in several Los Angeles newspaper articles. They started referring to Richard Del Connor as "Coyote." Richard's girlfriend started calling him, "Coyote." So... Richard became "The Coyote."

Entire album only 8.88

Like a deceased family member, I don't want to talk about them casually.

I teach my students, "What is the difference between 'Good' and 'Evil?' How do you decide whether a person is 'Good' or 'Evil?'"

And then I quickly explain as people NEVER have an answer and I don't won't to dramatize their ignorance. "I explain to my students that 'Evil' is making someone unhappy or unhealthy. 'Good' is making someone happy or healthy. I start from there."

That makes my Alvarez acoustic guitar MY FRIEND. My guitar made me happy and healthy. For mental health: my guitar was my psychiatrist. I shared my problems with my guitar and my guitar shaped them into memories worthwhile to remember. I confess that sometimes transforming my emotional adventures can be like an exorcism. Fortunately there are only a few songs that I will never sing because they make me sad with broken hearted memories.

Even on my electric guitar I got choked up and teary eyed singing and performing for the MUSIC MOVIE: Kung Fu Cowboy at Club Coyote.

From 1973 to 2010 MOST of my songs were written on that Alvarez. Let's talk about it during PODCAST INTERVIEWS.

My Alvarez was stolen after a Freemason meeting. I was the Masonic Lodge Organist. The organ was busted so I offered to play guitar and flute. They agreed and I wrote several songs during my performances during ceremonies and initiations at several Freemason lodges.

Songs of Coyote's "nomadic life" since divorcing his family in 2011.

Working as a stagehand and ditch digger, Coyote has been struggling through this past couple years.

Coyote was stung in the neck by a small tan scorpion near the Mexican border while working for a Brad Paisley concert. This motivated him rewrite the screenplay, Kung Fu Cowboy Rock & Roll Movie 1, to include ghosts popping out of his body to do his Kung Fu fighting for him.

This album establishes Coyote's first departure from folk rock music. Having vowed to never play acoustic guitar again, Coyote establishes his new sound and new musical styles of rock'n'roll, classic rock, brit rock, instrumental rock, and pop rock.

Produced by Richard Del Connor for Shaolin Records.
